The role of the authorising engineer is one of critical importance in high-tech engineering projects. Such professionals are entrusted with responsibility for the effective management of high-risk electrical systems, while ensuring compliance with health authority standards like HTM06-02, 06-03 and 03-01.
Power Technical Services is one of the most trusted providers of highly qualified expertise in this field. Our authorising engineers undertake a wide range of duties, from the reviewing of a client’s established procedures to the development of Safe Systems of Work. They are also highly competent and experienced in the auditing of operational procedures and the appointment of suitable Authorised Persons to manage on-site risks.
With regard to the latter duty, the authorising engineer is able to assess and recommend in writing sufficient Authorised Persons to cover all electrical systems and installations for which management is responsible. They can also define the exact extent of the systems and installations for which each Authorised Person has responsibility, in addition to excluding any part of the system from the responsibilities of the Authorised Person, if appropriate.
Furthermore, the authorising engineer can maintain a register of all Authorised Persons.
While the role and duties of an authorising engineer are already comprehensive, there are many other supportive technical services that we can offer as industry-leading providers of niche, high-tech engineering know-how, ranging from condition surveys to Partial Discharge (PD) surveys.
With our authorised engineers also providing detailed auditing to enable the client’s development of a future strategy plan and preparing the operational procedure manuals that are invaluable for demonstrating a facility’s compliance with the latest requirements, Power Technical Services really can claim to provide the most comprehensive, dependable and safe authorising engineer service.
